+ The World +"The world is build for the majority and not the minority. Let's make this world a home for the minority as well." -Lance Ng (GAT)
Alright. I have many thanksgiving to God who is always so GOOD, MERCIFUL, LOVELY, GREAT and MAGNIFICIENT.
But, I am truly inspired by the people i met @ the Social Enterprise Forum organised by the NUS Business School. In the past, you wouldn't find me interested in Business, stepping in Business schools etc. To me, we are living in a world of CAPITALISM that sells us the idea and belief system that in order to make money and survive, we need to make lots of profits on the expense of others. And, sadly this whole belief system has turned into the world system today. Selfish Capitalism. Who says we couldn't survive otherwise else? I refuse to be fed by such ideology and chose a life that i would find meaning and purpose in. A life that I have chosen that living is giving. I invest my resources and myself to relationships, people. Even if you die, your life continues in others because of your investment.It's lecacy they call.
I listened to Lance Ng from GAT (Gift and Take), Tong Yee (School of Thought), Mr Wilson Ang (ECO.Singapore) and Ms Kala Karkal (Dignity Links Ltd) At once, i met very inspiring like-minded people and I applauded their efforts. I have no comments, no questions but to thank God for these people.
Lance Ng asked the audience a question:
"What is your purpose in life?" He continued:
"The more you think about yourself, the more pain you see and feel. The depressed you become. But, when you start living for others and not yourself, when you stop taking and taking and start giving, the pain disappears and joy sets in." (Not exact words)Indeed. Self-centeredness is a sin, that's why God called us to look beyond our flesh. Nowadays, many of us cared too much about ourselves. How we feel. What we want. It's a ME society. Haiz. How true the Holy Bible says about human nature.
Well, i believe that Redeemption of the person/soul is not THE END. How can it just be it? God is bigger than that. God not just want a restored relationship with His people but He wants to redeem the whole world to Himself. A world filled with lies.
Now the LIES of the world is telling us:
* Human life is a batch of cells. [Evolution Theory]
* Because of that, abortion before a certain number of weeks is not a life but just cells!
* Because of that, human beings is not worthy. You just live and drift..then you die.
* Because of that, pre-martial sex is ok. It's my life. Multiple-partners is ok. Divorce is ok.
* Because of that, humans think about themselves all the time. Selfishness. It's "I" all the time
* Romantic love is just measured by generally feelings.
* It's a dog eat dog world. The fittest survive.
But God is telling us: (It's the truth):
*Human being are not just a batch of cells but there is soul, spirit and flesh. We are made in God's image and is important to Him
* We are so important that He sent His only Son, Jesus to die for our wrong-doings
*We are loved, cared for and should be treated with dignity
* Because of that, abortion is NO because human life is worthy. God created everyone of us
* Because God cares for us, we are created for a purpose. We should live meaningfully
* Because of that, we should not go around hurting others, getting in and out of a relationship.
* Feelings is not love. If you experience feelings, it is called "Attraction". But, love cannot be measured by feelings.
* It's not suppose to be a dog eat dog world.
WHY ARE WE BUYING INTO ALL THESE LIES?
if you read God's Word for us, you will find a very different world God wants us to stay in. The world is going to change for the worst. This is NOT IT. But, nevertheless, please come and know the truth now before you are sucked into the world system.
Jesus, COME!! we are desperate for you.
